C. as Julius Caesar captured "Gallien", making the Rhine the cast boarder of the Roman empire, he also subdued the "Treverer", a Celtic tribe, which praised their ancient German descent and lived between the rivers Rhine and Maas.<br> The ruins of the amphitheater at "Petersberg" (holding about 30,000 people) and the massive bath palaces of the "Barbarathermen" in the vicinity of the Mosel are eloquent evidence for the strongly pulsing life of the Roman Trier in the first century AD.<br> This peak for Trier suffered a sudden interruption through the invasion of the Franks in 275. They broke through the "Limes", which was the Roman defense wall back then, and left Trier in ashes and soot.Trier became the second Rome. Amphitheater and thermal spas were reconstructed. The emperors palace (with its magnificent throne room, presently the Basilica), the circus, and the preserved ruins of the emperors hall form a vast, group of towering buildings in the middle of the city. </font></p> <p> </p> <p><font size="2"><a href="fr-index.html">Picture 1</a> | Picture 2 | <a href="fr-index3.html">Picture 3</a> | <a href="fr-index4.html">Picture 4</a> | <a href="fr-index5.html">Picture 5</a> | <a href="fr-index6.html">Picture 6</a> | <a href="fr-index7.html">Picture 7</a> | <a href="fr-index8.html">Picture 8</a> | <a href="fr-index9.html">Picture 9</a></font> </p> <p><a href="http://www.hotel-germany-rhine.com/road-map-distances-parking/index.html"><font size="2">Road map, distances, parking, airport, railway, boat landing stages,</font></a></td> </tr> </table> </center></div><font size="2"><div align="center"><center><table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="760"> <tr> <td> <font size="2">© 1999-2003 <a href="http://www.hotel-rhein-weinproben.com">www.hotel-rhein-weinproben.com</a> <a href="http://www.hotel-germany-rhine.com">www.hotel-germany-rhine.com</a> <a href="http://www.bacharach-germany.net">www.bacharach-germany.net</a> <a href="http://www.european-vacation.net">www.european-vacation.net</a> <br> Alle Rechte vorbehalten.  Alle Angaben ohne Gewähr.
